Pre-completion file review

Check the final deed, payment flow and handover before closing.

We review the completion package against the agreed transaction so the buyer can address missing documents, payment risks and handover conditions before the final balance is released.

  • Completion file checked

  • Handover conditions listed

Price

Starting at €500 — for completion package review before escritura

Best time to use

Before the escritura appointment and before authorising the final balance transfer.

You send / you receive

CPCV, draft deed, updated property file, payment and handover instructions. → A completion checklist, outstanding items and buyer-side payment sequence.

The final appointment leaves little room to correct a payment or document error.

At completion, the buyer must know that the final deed reflects the agreed transaction, the seller can transfer the property, any seller mortgage will be cancelled as planned, the payment instructions are controlled and the keys and documents will be handed over. A missing item may be fixable before the appointment but much harder to manage after the balance has been released.

What we check before completion

The review compares the final package with the CPCV, due-diligence findings and practical handover arrangements.

Final deed and party details

We compare the draft deed or completion instrument with the property, buyer, seller, representatives, price and other agreed transaction terms.

Updated property and seller documents

We review the available updated registry, tax, authority, condominium, energy and other completion documents relevant to the asset.

Balance payment and mortgage cancellation

We check payment instructions, bank involvement and the documented mechanism for releasing or cancelling seller-side mortgage security where applicable.

Registration and key handover

We review the planned registration steps, possession date, keys, meter readings, documents, outstanding works and conditions tied to handover.

Completion documents to send

The exact file varies by property and whether a bank, power of attorney or seller mortgage is involved.

  • Signed CPCV and any amendments or written completion agreements
  • Draft final deed or completion instrument and updated property records
  • Final payment instructions, bank documents and mortgage-cancellation evidence
  • Handover list, condominium statement, energy certificate and authority documents

How the completion review works

  1. Send the complete closing file

    Provide the signed CPCV, draft deed, updated records and payment instructions as soon as they are available.

  2. We compare the final file with the deal

    The reviewer checks whether the completion package matches the agreed property, price, parties and conditions.

  3. Outstanding items are prioritised

    Missing evidence is separated into critical completion conditions and practical follow-up points.

  4. You receive a closing checklist

    The buyer receives a written sequence for the appointment, payment and handover.

Questions buyers ask

Is the notary or Casa Pronta appointment enough to protect the buyer?

The formalisation service performs its legal function, but it does not replace a buyer-side review of the agreed payment, contract conditions, handover and unresolved transaction risks.

When should I send the final file?

Send it as soon as the draft deed, updated records and payment instructions are available. Last-minute review reduces the time available to correct missing items.

Can this service confirm the seller's mortgage will be cancelled?

We review the proposed cancellation mechanism and supplied evidence. The actual release also depends on the bank, completion process and documents used at the appointment.

Does the service include registration after completion?

No. It reviews the planned registration and evidence. Ongoing monitoring or correction of the registration is a separate scope.

Do not release the final balance with unresolved completion questions.

Send the signed CPCV, closing documents and payment instructions. We will organise the outstanding points before the escritura and key handover.
